User reviews
"One of the two beaches that I adore in Lagos is simply breathtaking. It's a paradise for surfers, with some areas being wavy during specific seasons. Additionally, it's an ideal spot for a workout. During low tide, the beach expands through the caves to a beautiful nudist beach, which is another gem worth exploring."
Ethan Kessler.
"The beach is absolutely breathtaking with vast stretches of shimmering yellow sand, pristine crystal-clear water, and gentle waves that are perfect for both surfers and swimmers alike."
